If so what kind or fish made the leap?
My lyretail hawk jumped out the other day when it got startled and I put it back in and it was fine. I just walked in the door and found him crispy...it was my fav fish.

i had a dog face puffer that would follow your finger like it was food
we allways teased it. well one day my brother was playing with the guy and got distracted. it bit his finger and held on. he yelped! pulling the fish out of the tank he flick his hand and the puffer was on the carpet. i rushed over and he swelled up, i picked him up and put him in the tank. he floated totally not in the water but on it. so i poked him with my finger till he was in the water and he deflated. he was good to go after, more than a little stunned, but he still chased fingers. best fish i ever owned went to the glass when i came home and everything. the chicks totally loved him.

I had a Double Barred Spinefoot; aka Rabbit Fish, take the jump in the middle of the night. I found him the next morning dried out! Had him for several years!

Midas blenny which we caught and put back and he lived, and a 6 line that we didn't know about and found it dead behind the tank.

my watchman jumped into the wetdry and survived for almost 6 months. I took out the wet dry when i got my fuge and when i dumped out all the water the lil guy was flopping around. Lol i ran up the stairs from outside and threw him in the tank and hes still there. Hes the man. a true warrior. My SFE and tomatoe clown on the other hand yeah they died.
